Here are some of the pictures I took Saturday at Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh.
Despite the fact that Scarlett was a shit, I was grateful for the opportunity to see such 
beauty and art in person.  My only real regret was not touching some of the glass. 
I had plenty of chances, but was too reverend for my own satisfaction.



I didn't touch up the color on the pic of Scarlett because it tended to make her kinda red. 

The sage-y color of the room where she's standing is accurate - it was grey and blue and only 
slightly green. And it smelled fabulous. Scarlett took a sketch pad, but I don't know how many 
things she drew while she was there.  She was too busy darting from thing to thing. As a result
she missed a lot.  

The orchid room was a real pleasure, and a great opportunity for me to experiment with my flash
and my telephoto. (as you can see)  They're so vaginal. 

The rest of the photos have developed beautifully with only the slightest brightness adjustment. 
It was overcast all day, heavily gray as you'll see in some of the other pics, but it was simply 
beautiful weather. Cool, crisp, almost no rain.  And Pittsburgh is awesome. I wish I traveled
there more often.  I think I might, once I show Brent some of the opportunities there.
